STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. build kmymoney from master branch 2. start kmymoney and open a file 3. kill kmymoney process or let kmymoney crash or run kmymoney with gdb and exit without closing the file 4. restart kmymoney OBSERVED RESULT In the application there is a message printed "File ... is already opened by another process" and the file is not opened. EXPECTED RESULT The file should be opened SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: openSUSE Leap 15.6 KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.11 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.115.0 Qt Version: 5.15.12 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION This issue looks to be related to bug 475674.
I am unable to reproduce this. Things I tried using master branch build: 1. run kmymoney with gdb and option -n, open a file and exit gdb without closing the file 2. verify .lck file is still present 3. restart kmymoney -> no message, file is opened 1. run kmymoney with gdb no option to open last used and exit gdb without closing the file 2. verify .lck file is still present 3. restart kmymoney -> no message, file is opened 1. run kmymoney opening last used file 2. copy the lock file 3. quit kmymoney and make sure original lock file is gone 4. move copy of lock file back to original name 5. restart kmymoney -> no message, file is opened 1. run kmymoney with gdb no option to open last used and interrupt to get to gdb's cli. Don't quit 2. start kmymoney in second console -> message file is opened is shown (which is correct here) 3. quit gdb (which leaves the lock file on disk) 4. use running second instance of kmymoney to open file -> no message, file is opened 1. run kmymoney opening last used file 2. copy the lock file 3. quit kmymoney and make sure original lock file is gone 4. move copy of lock file back to original name 5. modify content of .lck file (first char on line 4) 6. restart restart kmymoney -> message file is opened is shown (which is correct here) 7. revert modification of step 5 8. use running second instance of kmymoney to open file -> no message, file is opened SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS (identical to yours) Operating System: openSUSE Leap 15.6 KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.11 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.115.0 Qt Version: 5.15.12 Conclusion: is this something that is only happening on your system? And why?
I did some additional testing and made the following observations: - on one computer I have the problem when the file in question is stored on an nfs share. Files on the local file system are not affected - on another computer, the problem does not occur if the file was loaded from an nfs share on another server - on both computers the .lck file is not removed after force quitting kmymoney
(In reply to Ralf Habacker from comment #2) > - on one computer I have the problem when the file in question is stored on > an nfs share. Files on the local file system are not affected In the console I saw kmymoney printing the following message Open file QUrl("file:///server/.../test.xml") setNativeLocks failed: "Permission denied"

(In reply to Ralf Habacker from comment #8) > Here is a related location which is called from kmymoney code at https://github.com/KDE/kmymoney/blob/284c619bf10638a98fdf8a0ab24be6aacebd5efc/kmymoney/plugins/xml/xmlstorage.cpp#L291
Looking at the Qt code here is what happens: KMyMoney calls QLockFile::tryLock() on the .lck file which fails in QLockFilePrivate::tryLock_sys() with QLockFile::LockFailedError because the .lck file already exists. tryLock() then calls QLockFilePrivate::isApparentlyStale() which uses getLockInfo_helper() to read the information about the file (opening as read-only). isApparentlyStale() rightfully returns true, because this machine created the lock in the first run and then quit prematurely. The next thing in tryLock() is to create another QLockFile object on filename.lck.rmlock which should prevent that two processes remove the file at the same time. For that matter it calls tryLock() on it but setting the lock on this .rmlock file is where the permission error is encountered. So the question is why NFS allowed to set the lock on the first .lck file but not on the second .lck.rmlock. Not much we can do about in KMyMoney :(
Another use case where an error occurs every time is that a kmymoney file cannot be opened from a write-protected location. The message that the file is already open appears immediately.

The KCrash library contains a function KCrash::setEmergencySaveFunction() (https://api.kde.org/frameworks/kcrash/html/kcrash_8h_source.html#l00095), which can be used to install a handler for emergencies. This file can then be closed and the lock removed again. static void emergencySaveFunction(int) { if (kmymoney) kmymoney->slotFileClose(); } int main() { ... KCrash::setEmergencySaveFunction (emergencySaveFunction); ...
